mmon is a tiny monitor program for the VR4300 MIPS processor. It can operate with NO working RAM, using only the processor registers, so it can be useful for hardware bringup, including testing a RAM controller.
With minor changes, mmon should be usable on other 64-bit MIPS processors. mmon was originally assembled using the SDE-MIPS tool chain from Algorithmics, which is probably no longer avaialble.
Alexander Voropay has ported mmon to run on QEMU, building with the GNU toolchain.
Commands are:
db <addr1> [<<addr2>>] | dump memory bytes from addr1 to <addr2> (non-inclusive) |
dh <addr1> [<<addr2>>] | dump memory half-words (16-bit) |
dw <addr1> [<<addr2>>] | dump memory words (32-bit) |
sb <addr> <data>... | store one byte of data to address |
sh <addr> <data>... | store one half-word (16-bit) of data to address |
sw <addr> <data>... | store one word (32-bit) of data to address |
swl <addr> <data> | store word left |
swr <addr> <data> | store word right |
fb <addr1> <<addr2>> <data> | fill bytes of memory |
fh <addr1> <<addr2>> <data> | fill half-words |
fw <addr1> <<addr2>> <data> | fill words |
l | load S-records |
g <addr> | go (start execution at address) |
